What role did Liu Deng's army play in the Huai Hai Campaign when it marched into Dabie Mountain?

1, realizing the best strategic future proposed by the central authorities, that is, gaining a firm foothold at all costs, which is recognized by military history. Liu Deng's slogan to the troops before advancing was "Going to Dabie Mountain is victory". The history book commented: "Liu Deng's army advanced into Dabie Mountain; The East China Field Army led by Chen Yi and Su Yu advanced into Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu; Chen Geng and Xie Fuzhi Corps marched into western Henan. The cooperation of the three armed forces has formed a tortuous strategic situation in the vast area between the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, containing more than half of the troops of the Kuomintang army in the southern line, making the Central Plains an important rear for the Kuomintang army to attack the liberated areas and making it a forward base for the People's Liberation Army to win national victory. This is a victory of great strategic significance to the development of the war. It has driven the strategic offensive of various battlefields across the country, and the entire war pattern has undergone fundamental changes since then. " . Mao Zedong said to Dabie Mountain, "Dabie Mountain has been consolidated, and then we said," We can call it an attack. It is not a self-defense war, but an attack of the people's liberation war and the people's revolutionary war. ""Although we put forward the slogan of overthrowing Chiang Kai-shek and building a new China, we wouldn't have dared to hold the meeting in February 65438 without the three armies marching into the Central Plains and Liu Deng's Great Leap Forward. We dare not mention this slogan. " "Now the national situation is very good. The Northeast Field Army wiped out most of the enemies in the winter offensive, including Liancheng; North China, Shandong and northern Jiangsu have completed winter training and rectification, and will start spring operations in a few days; Liu Deng, Chen Su and Xie Chen fought in the Central Plains, galloped north and south of the great river, and crossed the Huai River and the Han River. The national victory is a foregone conclusion. Without Liu Deng's leap, there would be no such situation. Without Liu Deng's leap, our army's victory in Northeast China, North China and Shandong would be unimaginable.

2. Advancing into Dabie Mountain completely reversed the situation of relying on the base areas to resist enemy attacks, led the war to Chiang Kai-shek area, and enabled the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan base areas to recover after a long war, and the northern Shaanxi and Shandong base areas survived the difficulties. At the same time, our army has also established five military regions in Zhongye, namely, Hubei-Henan, West Anhui, Jianghan, Tongbai and Hubei-Henan-Shaanxi, with 365 and 438+0 military sub-regions, and established democratic regimes at all levels, gradually integrating into the strategic actions of the three armed forces in the Central Plains. It has provided strong support for the future strategic decisive battle. Let's take a look at Li Da, chief of staff of the Central Plains Field Army:

"The whole Central Plains region, including the south of Longhai Road, the west of Jinpu Road, the north of the Yangtze River to Tongguan in Shaanxi, Shangxian in Hubei and even the vast area east of Jiangling, has basically been connected with the enemy except along the railway and some strategic points, resulting in our army crossing the Yangtze River in the south, Sichuan in the west and Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the east." ; "With the close cooperation of the East China Field Army, the Central Plains Field Army carried out large-scale mobile operations in the vast areas of the Central Plains, annihilated more than 200,000 regular troops in Sheng County and more than 100,000 armed security guards, and swept away the reactionary foundation of the enemy's painstaking management of the Central Plains for 20 years. In this way, in a vast area with a population of 45 million, we deprived Chiang Kai-shek of his troops, food and financial resources, provided us with a strategic base that could support hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and changed our army from fighting without a rear area to fighting with a rear area. Then, during the autumn combat, various units carried out a new type of army consolidation with three investigations and three rectifications as the main content, carried forward the three major democracies, set off a wave of training, greatly improved the tactical skills and combat effectiveness of the troops, and strengthened the organizational discipline of the troops. All these have prepared favorable conditions for the victory of the Huaihai Campaign and the liberation of the entire Central Plains region. "

3. Advancing into Dabie Mountain has opened up the strategic space, enabling our army to maneuver in a wide range, tearing apart the enemy's heavily armed groups, thus obtaining fighters to annihilate the enemy, forcing the enemy to change from strategic attack to strategic defense, and promoting the fundamental changes in the situation between the enemy and ourselves. Our army not only changed from strategic defense to strategic attack, but also formed a strategic encirclement of the enemies of the Central Plains due to the establishment of the Central Plains base area. Since Liu Shuai left Dabie Mountain, he pointed out that he would crucify Chiang Kai-shek with Xuzhou as the center.
